Most of our schools are open and are welcoming students.

Keeping everyone safe is our top priority. All schools have adopted strict measures which comply with National Government rules and guidance to protect the safety and well-being of everyone who is attending a language course.
• Ensuring buildings are clean and disinfected
• Promoting and demonstrating regular hand-washing and positive hygiene behaviours
• Ensuring adequate and clean toilets
• Ensuring the use of personal protective equipment
• Increased air flow and ventilation (where possible)
• Smaller class sizes
• Staff training and instruction on adhering to government guidelines
• Social distancing measures
• Health and safety briefing to all students upon arrival at the school in relation to COVID-19
• On-site student services team will monitor the well-being of the students
• Designated team members to discuss concerns
• Students and staff members may be required to have daily temperature checks
• Health and safety briefing to all students in relation to COVID-19

If anyone at the school develops symptoms they will need to self-isolate. It might be a requirement that other students and staff members self-isolate as well, depending on the instructions from the Public Health agency.
In the unlikely event of infection, the student will need to isolate with the support of the on-site welfare team. Extra support will be provided so that students can continue to learn whilst in self-isolation. All students are advised to purchase medical insurance before travelling.
• All accommodation options have been reviewed to comply with safety measures and can be booked in conjunction with a course
• Premises are under a strict cleaning schedule
• Common areas have been adapted to comply with social distancing rules
• Students are encouraged to book separate rooms to aid with self-isolation if necessary. We will consider options for sharing a room in homestay, upon request.
